[Kenwood] TM-732A battery location

 Gary - you can purchase 3V lithium coin batteries with solder tabs, as used in the older Japanese transceivers. Model no. is CR2032 - just search on Ebay and you'll find several vendors selling them. I have used them and they work fine if your old memory battery needs replacement.  Bob K3AC

Gary,  You are correct about its location. It is a coin shape but is soldered in. The battery measures 3.26V so I don’t think it’s the problem. I’ll replace it anyway and make sure to touch up any questionable solder connections.  Thank you.

My memory isn't what it used to be, but maybe on the back side of the circuit board attached to the front of the radio body.

I suspect it might be a bad backup battery. I’ve opened the top and bottom covers and even removed the front panel looking for it. Where is it and what does it look like?  I take it that it’s not a little round thing that looks like a coin.> > WA5UEK > > Sent from my iPhone> ______________________________________________________________> Kenwood mailing list> Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/kenwood> Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm> Post: mailto:Kenwood at mailman.qth.net> > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net> Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________Kenwood mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/kenwoodHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:Kenwood at mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
